Currently I am working as an Assistant Professor at Singpore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). Before joining SUTD, I was a visiting Postdoctoral associate with Professor Pattie Maes at the Fluid Interfaces group, MIT Media Laboratory. I graduated from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2005 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I took up the NUS direct PhD programme and joined Marine Mammal Research Laboratory (MMRL), and later Arts and Creativity Laboratory, to conduct my research. I worked under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth Taylor, Associate Professor Ong Sim Heng and Associate Professor Lonce Wyse.

Being a Sri Lankan, I am an avid tea-drinker and easily consumes 7-8 cups of tea a day. I enjoy watching cricket matches and love playing the sport even more.
